In fact I'm pretty envious that you learned this one so soon. I usually have to reach extreme burnout mode before I finally feel the hammer hitting my head. I've been homeschooling for two years now and this year (our third) we're doing the online school thing that comes with a real live teacher! I'm scared and excited and guilty and relieved. Being a homeschooler doesn't mean we have to be anti-school, It just means we look at all the options and choose the best balance for the family. It doesn't mean we failed or gave up. there are many years of education left and homeschooling might come into play again some day, maybe soon maybe much later. Realizing that we can't do it all is a really really hard thing to learn but hopefully our children will have a little easier time figuring that one out by our examples. I wish you happy success!

Sounds like your delegating provides balance and safeguards your SANITY. That's important! :-) I’m hoping you and your kids have a really great school year, and that you don’t beat yourself up for making a hard decision.

Choosing to publicly educate your children because you feel it the best choice for them right now only speaks of how much you love them and put them first - not your own desires to "do it all" (we have that in us don't we.... we can do eeet allllll ;) ) I love you all.
